I rooted some suckers from my tomatoe plants and was wandering when I could plant them out. I was told to wait until September but they are getting too large, so I think I'll plant them soon. Thanks
Thanks! Excited for it to cool off 😅
I'm excited! When did you start your garden?
We just moved in from Australia, we have a rental with a blank back yard!
This is super helpful! Thanks so much for sharing! 💚
I'm trying to build Mel's mix for my new raised bed garden but can't find quality compost anywhere. The stuff in the stores is mostly wood chips and doesn't look all that great. Any suggestions on where I might find some or other things I can do to supplement it? Also I got the sunflowers to sprout which I'm so excited about, but is there enough time left for the, to grow and bloom? I appreciate all the information I have gained from you channel and appreciate any suggestions. Thank you and God bless.
I have seen so many gardens from the US using raised beds and this query still lingers — do the plants grow in just the potting mix that is in the raised beds or do they take up nutrients from the soil below too ?
If it's just from the raised beds then how do the plants grow so well , especially if you are following the planting instructions per square foot ? It is then basically container gardening ?
When I start a new season with fresh potting mix nutrients are used up in 6 to 8 weeks and then I fertilize every 10 days to keep the plants going , how often do you fertilize your raised beds after you have topped them up with compost ?
Yea! Another video from Growing in the Garden! Encouragement we all need.
Nice to find a southern AZ specific garden channel!
Thank you. I’d dug into the u of a extension resources to find a planting calendar, but it’s so much better to get word from a real person in the area doing it. Just got my pumpkins and melons and squash in last night. Soaked my beans peas and corn for today, and was thinking about throwing in the chard and mustard greens for the heck of it… now maybe I’ll have a months patience ;). Thanks for doing what you do 🌵❤️
So clear and concise. Great delivery too!
Love your channel and blog so much! 🙂 Just curious, what exposure is your yard?
Thank you so much, I’m new at gardening so your channel is going to help me so much. I live in Gilbert.
Thank you. This is very helpful.
Given we are having a longer than usual, very hot and dry summer… should I delay usual planting a couple weeks? I live in Phoenix and have not seen a drop of rain in my area yet this summer. Thanks in advance for your channel — after much searching was great to find another Zoni gardner 🙂
I'm so happy I found your channel! I feel like Ive been searching for so long to find information specific to this area!
This channel is literally Gold! Much love from Marana Az
Hello! I have a quick question. I’m starting to garden but I am not sure what soil to put in my garden. Can you please help me please.
I LOVE that you are in Mesa and your info is low desert specific since I live in Gilbert. Since finding your website and watching your videos, my garden has been the best it's been (plus you inspire me to give it tender loving care). This is the first year I've planted tomato plants. Do they die and you have to keep replanting seeds or transplant? I read that someone rooted a tomato sucker? I will need to look that up on how to do that. My tomatoes just don't want to turn red (both the roma and cherry). Is there something I need to be doing other than fertilizer & a good watering schedule? Plus, the birds seem to peck holes in the cherry tomatoes before they even have a chance to turn red or is something else eating/hurting them? Thanks for all you do!
What were the squash called that you showed right after pumpkins? I have some that are very similar and I'm not sure what they are
Great video. Hope to watch more along the way !!!!
Can I start seeds now for tomatoes, lettuce, arugula, herbs, etc?
Wondering what irrigation hose and fittings you use. I bought Mel B. Square Foot Gardening book but it’s not in there.
When can we plant strawberries? Any special tips? Putting in my 1st square foot garden this week.
Hi Angela, The code Angela10 didn’t work at Garden in minutes. Maybe you need to renew with them to pass that along? I was able to get a code from them that worked. I just LOVE your content!!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I am so happy and thankful I found you🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I just started gardening, learning from mistakes, you will be a lot of help. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi I’m new here enjoy your video. I’m in Las Vegas so looks like we have similar growing areas.
Yikes I just found your channel and am about 2 weeks late to plant what you have recommended in your video. Any chance I can still try now?
Wow!..Although I don't live in Arizona, you have covered Soooooooo much information in an expedited amount of time and utilized gardening products that are a part of my arsenal 😉 👍…Fantastic video and will watch others 🥰!!
Take care … Miss Marva
Where can I buy seeds in az?
I’m so glad I found this channel
I live in 9b in a Mediterranean climate in CA, it rarely rains, hot summers and this is the closest channel I've found to my climate! Love it!
Do I need to have the bed empty to add more soil or compost and take the garden grid off? It looked like you put your compost on top of the grid? Do the holes get clogged?
Yessss! Angela posted! Wait, let me get my pen n paper! 😘
Love your videos!
How much water does it take to make my yard that lush in the desert? Gorgeous yard/garden!!!!
Where do you get a soil test?
Great informational video!!! Thank you
Hello,
Bravo, amazing, thank-you. If I may ask? In Yuma the sun bears down hot, is your location cooler? Which leads me to appreciate the growing up. Should I plant and use metal in the location I am in?
Thank you,
Beatrice
Hi, I'm excited to find your channel.
Your so informative.
Do you sell seeds? I'm especially looking for ranunculus. Thank you!
Is it safe to plant a garden where fake turf used to be?
How do you harvest the sunflower heads? We have 4 heads we cut off and have them hanging to dry out. But how do you know when the seeds are ready?
Everything went as planed until the hale storm🥹
I’m so happy I found you being in az as well 😭😭
Any issues with scorpions in such a nice lush garden. We are near South Mountain and worry if we had a nice vegetable garden it would give them more places to hide and multiply.
